CHINA: 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Dominates; 'The Croods' Starts Strong

G.I. Joe: Retaliation is off to an incredible start in China. The action flick has already grossed $33 million from 7,500 locations, surpassing the opening of2009's G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra by a margin on 4 to 1. Retaliation has already topped Rise of the Cobra's theatrical cume in China.

The Croods proves once again that Hollywood's animated flicks can really connect in China. The family-friendly effort took in an impressive $6 million from 5,000 screens after only one day. That marks the strongest opening day for a DreamWorks Animation title.
